Once upon a time we started a tipi campsite - the first one in the UK - and then about 10 years later you started asking if you could have outside weddings here. It took us a moment, but then it was crikey - why didn't we think of this before! A tipi wedding, woodland wedding, camping wedding, festival wedding - it could hardly be more perfect! The idea of you using our beautiful woods and glorious lake for your day of days was clearly spot on, and now nearly 10 years later we're established as one of the UK's top outdoor wedding venues. Hurrah!

So what we didn't do was jump on a bandwagon; we were in at the off with outdoor weddings, and we're actually from here (farmers - too long to mention) & have grown our family business organically over the last 20 years (yes, sometimes slower than we'd have liked) into something to be proud of. Our long experience of Glastonbury & other festivals means the festival vibe is real - not a marketing phrase - although we'll always balance carefully what you want to do with our responsiblities to our neighbours and the wider community. This means when you get married here you are dealing with real people in a real place, and we'll respond to you personally in everything we do.

We're all about the wildly romantic outdoor wedding - and we're the closest you can get to a legal outdoor wedding in the UK. If you're dreaming of a green wedding, wedding by water or the best outdoor venue you can find then you've come to the right place. Our wood, willow and canvas Pavilion isn't on a manicured lawn but really outdoors; by a clear brook & under a canopy of oak and ash. Our secret valley is 5 minutes from the wild Atlantic coast with a matchless backdrop of woodland and sky, shimmering lake water and magical Cornish earth. Declaring your love in front of family and friends is big stuff; whether you choose to make it country boho or festival cool is up to you - you do the pretty stuff & we do all the rest...

The ceremony took place in a clearing in the woods. Guests sat on hay bales and sipped champagne...The band was fantastic, the company even better and we finished it off sleeping in a tipi and waking to a fantastic day of fishing and swimming in the lake.

I just wanted to email to say thank you for helping with the booking for the weekend we spent in the Tipis for my sisters hen do back in May which was so much fun. It is a lovely site and despite the thunder and rain it looked splendid in the bursts of sunshine with the bluebells all out and much fun was had by all. My sister still talks wistfully about the three dips she took in the lake and the whole relaxing back to nature Tipi experience which was just what she was after and has been talking about wanting a return visit with her husband towards the end of the summer

It was truly a ‘once in a lifetime’ day which I am sure will stay in their memory for ever – what more could the parents of the bride ask for?

Cornish Tipi Weddings captures the essence of eco-chic – riding the crest of the wave of Green Romantics with it’s very 21st century blend of sustainability, fun and glamour.

The wedding site is set in a pretty clearing surrounded by woodland and streams. There is a beautiful wood, willow and canvas pavilion where the wedding ceremony is held, with the sunlight twinkling on the floor as it streams through the trees.

An ENORMOUS thank you to you and everyone else at Cornish Tipis who made the wedding and the whole weekend so special. It was absolutely perfect. The mixture of help when it was needed and being left alone to enjoy the day was spot on. We couldn't have asked for a more friendly, welcoming and beautiful place to be married. We can't wait to come back for our anniversary!

A truly flexible feast, this wood, willow and canvas pavilion is described by Charlie Burton as “an inspirational wedding venue where your dreams of an outdoor wedding can come true”. The pavilion is set by a brook, under a canopy of oak and ash trees and you can follow the wedding ceremony with a bunting-laced vintage tea party, a woodland picnic where musicians on fiddle & flute play you past banks of foxglove and wild rose, or a Bollywood-style shindig, bedecked with hot pinks, saffron, low seating and glittering saris.
